● Browse your active media profiles and give yourself a Google. What does
your current online identity reflect?
My current online identity is very minimal. Although I have social media
accounts, I have privacy settings turned on and do not post anything too
personal or often. When I Googled my name the only thing I found was my
LinkedIn.
● What kind of online identity do you wish to present by the end of your time in
college?
I wish to present a larger online identity by the end of my time in college. To
expand my online identity, I hope to showcase my academic achievements, as
well as athletic achievements for cheer.
● How do you envision your Domain of One’s Own page contributing to that
identity? Will you use this primarily as a space to practice with digital tools
and technology for coursework or is this a platform you hope to maintain and
continue to develop over time as a public-facing personal website for various
personal and/or professional goals? Said another way, what ideas and goals
do you have for yourself in terms of personal website development for this
semester?
I envision my Domain of One’s Own page contributing to that identity by
uploading my academic and athletic achievements. In the meantime, I will use
this space primarily to practice with digital tools and technology for coursework
as I do not have any experience with designing or operating my own website. As
time goes on, however, this is a platform I hope to maintain and continue to
develop as a public-facing personal website for various personal and/or
professional goals. This semester, the ideas and goals I have for myself in
personal website development are to focus on designing/experimenting with my
website and successfully uploading the required coursework for this class.
● In terms of web design:
○ This class requires you have at least a primary domain (your
landing page) and two pages (a place to document your digital
engagements and showcase your projects). What other pages do
you hope to establish? See the Personal Website assignment for
more ideas.
Other pages I hope to establish are a resume page and social media
links.
○ You may also choose to create a subdomain or subdomains – this
type of page allows you to organize smaller projects under the
umbrella of your primary domain. Unlike a page on your domain,
which maintains consistency with your primary website, a
subdomain can have its own differing style and organization,
including different sets of pages.
I’m curious and would like to learn more about subdomains.
○ What type of aesthetic do you hope to cultivate? Font choices,
color choices?
I hope to cultivate a very clean and professional type of aesthetic with a
touch of girliness. I find the fonts “Book Antiqua” and “Calibri”
aesthetically pleasing. For color choices, I think pastel colors or black and
white would look nice.
● Select a domain name you will use for your personal website. This looks like
www.[yourdomainname].com
